For its third CD, Caribbean Jazz Project has retooled, with vibes and marimba player Dave Samuels squarely in the leader's chair. In its first two chapters CJP was purely a cooperative band under the shared leadership of Samuels, alto sax/clarinetist Paquito d'Rivera, and steel pan drummer Andy Narell. Samuels has since replaced them with two different sounds: Steve Khan on guitar and Dave Valentin on flute. Now focused more squarely on Latin American rhythms, the band achieves a subtle harmonic blend, keyed by Samuels's inherently shrewd instruments and by Khan's consummate team-playing. Samuels is the most distinctive voice, and faced with either an aluminum (vibes) or wood (marimba) surface to play on, his role requires perhaps more guile and calculation than playing wind instruments would. No bending allowed. Rounding out the cast is a trio of young Latin jazz fire-breathers: bassist John Benitez and drummer-percussionists Richie Flores and Robert Vilera. New Horizons is rife with sweet melodies, played with skill and fire in the belly--but fire with well-tailored, positive calculation and cunning, never overbearing. --Willard Jenkins
From Jazziz
"New Horizons" comes from a new incarnation of the Caribbean Jazz Project, an ensemble that has been blending contemporary jazz and Latin/Caribbean music since 1995. Originally, the band was co-lead byvibraphonist and marimba player Dave Samuels, saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera, and steel drummer Andy Narell. That ensemble recorded a pair of albums for Heads Up, a self-titled debut and a follow-up called "Island Stories." Since Samuels' recent signing with Concord, however, the group has been reconfigured, with Narell and D'Rivera replaced by guitarist Steve Khan and flutist Dave Valentin. The new band's first album, "New Horizons," finds the trio backed by bassist John Benitez and percussionists Richie Flores and Robert Vilera.
